Creating a Moment

Multi-photo moments

Updated

Add 2, 3, 4 photos in a single moment.

Why multi-photo?

One moment, multiple angles. Useful when:

  • Your meal has multiple dishes — show all of them in one moment
  • Friend group photo plus a closer-up of the activity
  • Before / after shots — gym, cooking, getting ready
  • Travel — different shots from the same trip

Adding more photos

After taking your first photo (or video), the composer opens with your photo at the top and a thumbnail row at the bottom showing the photo you just took.

  1. Below the photo preview, find the thumbnail strip.
  2. Tap the + button on the right of the strip.
  3. The camera reopens. Take another photo or video.
  4. It's added to your moment — now you have 2 photos.
  5. Repeat to add more (most moments support up to 4 photos).

Re-ordering or deleting photos

In the thumbnail row, long-press any thumbnail to:

  • Drag to reorder — the first one becomes the main thumbnail in the feed
  • Delete — tap the small X overlay to remove that photo

First photo is the cover. The first photo in your sequence is the one your friends see in the feed thumbnail. They swipe through to see the rest. Pick your strongest shot to lead.

Mixing photos and videos

You can mix photos and videos in one moment — e.g., 2 photos + 1 video, or vice versa. Each thumbnail in the strip shows what kind of media it is (a small play icon for videos).

Retaking a single photo

On the photo preview at the top of the composer, you'll see a Retake button on the top-right. Tap it to delete the currently-shown photo and re-capture it. Other photos in the multi-photo set stay.

FAQs — Multi-photo

Q. How many photos can I add?

A. Up to 4 in a single moment. After 4, the + button stops adding. If you have more to share, post them as a separate moment.

Q. Will all photos in my moment have the same activity tag?

A. Yes — one moment = one activity tag. All photos belong to the same moment context (e.g., Drinking - Coffee). If you want different activities, split into multiple moments.

Q. Can I have a photo and a video in the same moment?

A. Yes — mix freely. The thumbnail row supports any combination of photo and video, up to 4 total.

Q. My friends only see the first photo. Why?

A. They see the first as a thumbnail. Tapping the moment opens the full set — they can swipe left/right to see all photos. Make sure your friends know they can swipe!

Q. Can I delete one photo without re-doing the whole moment?

A. Yes — long-press the thumbnail in the strip and tap the small X to remove just that one. The rest of the moment stays.
